Golden Cross Resources Ltd has wrapped up an extensive surface geochemical sampling program at its Copper Hill project in New South Wales. The company collected data from 262 sites across infill and extension areas over March and April 2025, following a gravity survey completed in February. Using advanced testing techniques—including 50‐gram fire assay for gold and ICP methods for a suite of 36 elements—the new dataset aims to fill previous gaps and update historical data, underscoring the company’s commitment to building a comprehensive geochemical picture of the project. The soil sampling results generally show low measurement values, with most areas returning weak to moderate anomalies. However, some isolated highs were recorded, notably a copper reading as high as 2,060 parts per million at Wattle Hill and a gold level of 0.43 parts per million at Shades Road. The updated work, conducted across several designated areas such as Wattle Hill Southeast and Dash North, has expanded the known copper-gold mineralized trend along the Copper Hill Mineral Corridor. In addition, trace elements like molybdenum, arsenic, and zinc were also mapped, providing further insight into the potential for deeper mineralization and guiding future exploration targeting. Positioned within the prolific Molong Volcanic Belt—only about 50 kilometres north of one of Australia’s major gold-copper deposits—the Copper Hill project benefits from a favorable geological setting. The new geochemical dataset will be integrated with historical results to refine exploration targets, with the company planning further work such as gravity infill and induced polarization surveys in select areas. Previous exploration efforts dating back to the early 2020s and a substantial resource estimate update in 2022 also provide context that supports the strategic importance of this updated work. Investors may view the news with cautious optimism. On the bullish side, the systematic expansion and enhancement of geochemical coverage strengthens the project’s exploration potential, particularly within a region known for significant copper and gold deposits. The identification and extension of mineralized corridors could lead to further drilling campaigns and ultimately support a resource upgrade. Conversely, the generally low geochemical tenor and the isolated nature of high-grade readings mean that short-term breakthroughs are not guaranteed. More infill work and follow-up surveys will be necessary to confirm any economic zones, which may delay the realization of immediate value. Overall, while the results underline a disciplined and methodical approach, the true potential will hinge on follow-up exploration activities in the coming months.
